Hot pink flames lick at the edges of surreal 3D spaces. It pops in your mouth, leaving a glorious, sticky sweet mark. Growing up in post-soviet Belarus, Bokova was inspired by Western culture. Enthralled by a life she didn’t know, she escaped her surroundings by creating comic book characters – alter egos who allowed her to live in a world without judgement. This personal world-building, shaped by the rise of early tech, Y2K aesthetics, and a peek into her godfather’s anatomy book, forged her unique aesthetic – one that ranges from doughy to slimy and chromatic. 

Today, she uses VR sculpting like an infinite supply of digital clay to build tactile worlds that blur the line between sight and touch. It’s a style that’s moulding the identities of gobsmacking clients. For Amazon Music, she unleashed a neon pool party, cued by a character pressing play. For MTV, eccentric characters gallop towards a soft-sculpted reimagining of the iconic logo, framed by candy-coloured palm trees. She describes herself as the “quirky introspective weirdo who brings colourful whimsiness to the party when no one asked.” Our take? The party is all the more electrifying for it.
